Episode #6 "Destroying Casablanca"

I just realized that Native (the terrain of this episode) only appeared on the southern hemisphere until the next texture system was implemented... I'll need to assign it directly to cities otherwise you might get that terrain on a Washington DC mission.

Other than that, well done with the captures, although you'll still need some more specific ranks...

I can see that getting captures early on is very hard, nobody wants to run up to an alien and poke him with a stun rod. Here's a mod I use on all my games which is a big help tho it could be considered op. Great series, up to episode 5 atm, hopefully Simon III will last a bit longer than his predecessors. Don't use the batarangs as they cause the game to crash as soon as they hit anything, don't know why.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I want to stick with the stun rods for now.  I think adding something like a ranged stun this early in the game could end up being really op.

 The stun rods are pretty difficult to manage, but that difficulty and strategy is what I love about Xcom... "I know we need some live ones, but do I want to risk Frank's life for a capture?"

Now that Casablanca is "saved" I am now feared by both aliens and civilians, just the way it should be ;)

Now we're going to try our hand at the stun rods...

Not a good mission but funny in a warped way, it's most annoying when one of your troops do reaction fire a rocket like that. Ah well better luck in the future and for Simon IV as well.

Not only did you murder half your crew, but you came home with a promotion ;)
